• Make sure you discard any old sunscreen regularly.  Solmates are NOT designed for the long term storage of  sunscreen.  Removing any sunscreen from its original packaging may affect its efficacy over a given period, so please ensure you regularly empty the Solmate and discard any old sunscreen.
• Don’t leave your Solmate in direct sun for extended periods of time - this may cause the colour to fade and the plastic to become brittle. 
• You need to clean your Solmate regularly Remove the lid and base from the middle part of the applicator (please do not try to remove the roller ball)
• Using detergent and a brush or similar, thoroughly scrub and clean all parts of the applicator (including around the roller ball) to remove all residue
• Rinse off detergent  (repeat these steps until the applicator is thoroughly clean)
• Leave your Solmate to drain and fully dry before using again 

Note:  Please don’t put your Solmate in the dishwasher - whilst the Solmate will survive a washing cycle we’ve found it doesn’t do a thorough cleaning job and sunscreen residue may be left.
